full. The thieves succeeded in steal
ing the two herds aggregating $50
head, and including two fine stations
which were with their respective
bands, and got them well started
toward the north. Word was passed
from settlement to settlement, and the
ever ready and daring frontiersmen
were soon in the saddle securing the
country in every direction In hot pur-
suit. This prompt action seems to
have caused the thieves to divide the
horses up into smaller bands and at
tempt to escape by different routes, one
party moving around through the
Judith Gap, and near Hoag's station
on Buffalo creek, which is about
twenty miles from Okla. One Indian
fell victim to the wrath of tie pur-
suers, and his body now rests by the
side of the trail, pierced Dy seven
bullets. This occurred about three
days ago. In the pursuit of one Of the
parties the pursuers came upon three
fine young mares that had been shot
dead. 1t Is supposed that the thieves
had put saddles upon them for the
purpose Of riding fresh animals, and
that the mares, beingunbroken, threw
the riders. who then shot them to re.
gain their saddles.
IL is known that large number oi
the animals have been recovered, but
just how many are missing is not now
known. The raiders, some Of whom
are supposed to be white men, were
compelled TO let the horses go and flee
for their lives. The settlers are close
on their heels and it is supposed will
either capture or kill the whole outfit.
The settlers throughout that country
are thoroughly aroused and are deter
mined to make short work Of any
stray Indians or thieving white mer
found in the Judith Basin or the Mus
selshell valley. They give timely
warning to all Indians to stay on theiI
reservations. for they can't tell al
honest Indian from horse thief, anC
that hereafter they do not propose Il
allow any Indians to roam around
through their country. The tamt
warning is also given to white mer
who do not appear to have any regulal
business or to be seeking honest en-
ployment, Hereafter this will be {

He had been expecting the Judge during

had prepared himself for his reception by
putting on his best clothes and steadying
his nerves with an extra touch OF red eye.
Toward evening. a stranger, with an easy
nonchalant air, poorly dressed, walked in,
soon approached the bar. where GOrham
was standing and called for a drink. Cor

Having finished MS drink, GOrham slapped

REV. $. NJ. SMITHS PAPER.

Our purpose is not TO discuss the new
theology" or 1.-The Andover renaissance"
but 70 refer to some excellent work from
the pen of a young Presbyterian minister
residing in North Carolina We should
be pleased 10 know that he is a native of
North Carolina with North Carolina blood
in his veins. Rev. Samuel NJ. Smith, pas
tor at Washington, has contributed to The
Presbyterian Quarterly for July 1897,
paper occupying nearly thirty pages in re
view OF this Andover theology. We read
it with care and interest 1t is an uncom-
monty clever discussion. It is eminently
clear, forceful. logical and scholarly. It
shows thorough Study Of the already
somewhat extensive literature of the theo-
logical renaissance. and a perfect under
standing Of the masters Of the old school. :"
Mr. Smith dissects the new theology with
the skill of a practiced theological surgeon
and completely exposes the weak joints as
we'll as the corrupt spots IN the strange
monster. We feel under special obliga
tIOns to Mr. Smith. We confess he helped
70 clarity our perceptions and aided us IN
penetrating the weaknesses and eXcentricl-
ties OF the new system, presented in such
pleasing and even brilliant GARD The
new light is shown to he an i.;nis fatuus
the new theology is found to be old heresies
revamped and restated under more alIur
ing .formS; the freedom of faith IS ascer-
tained to be ren0uucing Of the best
theology Of the world Through the centuries

the conceuouS Of learning through genera
tionS of scholars and has been the comfort

deemed md reseuerated. The examiua-
ton IS methodical close, logical and
